The Importance of Capitalization ~

I just wanted to pop in and say hi.  I don't have much to share.  I haven't picked up the hook in days.  Just trying to finish some things for the hook in this weekend where Melissa and I will be vending.  I've made some more strawberry pincushions from antique coverlet and paisley pieces.  I still need to add a few buttons for embellishment.

More hook pouches and a few more to make.

I still need to add the buttonhole and buttons.  These are hand done.

 

I LOVE this box I display them in.  The lid is long missing, but I am a sucker for hand cut dovetails.

 

And don't you just love this escutcheon? 

Hopefully I will be back to hooking soon.  I miss having hook in hand.

 

I will leave you with this.  I hope you laugh as hard as I did :)

 

 

In this world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capital letters.

 

For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement.

 

"Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Is everybody clear on that?

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Strawberry Pin Cushions & a Rug to Share

 

Three day weekends are wonderful, but often the four day work week about kills you.  Five days worth of work and only four days to do it . . . sigh.  The weekend is just about over, but my to-do list is nowhere complete.  

 

It was a busy weekend.  Two cook outs (oh, the scale will hate me in the morning) and trying to get things done for the upcoming hook ins where I am vending.  They are only 3 days apart, so I need to have plenty done beforehand.  This was pincushion weekend.  I am so happy I got all these done :)

 

 

I pretty much have everything made (though I still would like to try some heart pin cushions) but now need to gather it all up, organize it, make price tags . . . and the  list goes on and on.  Maybe I will get more organized the more I vend???  I can only hope :) 

 

Did I ever show you the Patriotic Mermaid rug (10" x 28") that was hooked by Polly Minick?  Back in June on her blog she and her sister were auctioning off items with partial proceeds benefitting Semper Fi and the Humane Society.  I now get to call it mine.  A perfect summertime rug.

 

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I guess summer is unofficially over, but by our recent temperatures, you'd never guess it.  That will change all too soon.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
